Redlining is one of many examples of "Hard History". We are living in a period where some people are actively working to prevent the school system from discussing problematic aspects of racism in both U.S. History and in current events. Participants will view Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries' Ted Talk on "Why We Must Confront the Painful Parts of US History", and then engage in a half-hour discussion of the issues it raises, exploring the need for students in our schools to learn the hard truths about racism in our country.
